Feeling much better now, thanks. Nothing cheers a girl up more than 7 episodes of Cold Feet and 2 kilos of plokkfiskur.
Plokkfiskur is one of the Icelanders' greatest inventions. Really; it's right up there with Björk, geothermal water, and those funny little horses (don't call them ponies).
It's basically just mashed up fish all mushed together with mashed potato; but there's no potential crisis that it can't give comfort to: periods; being cheated on; being cheated on while you're on your period; hearing that your dog is dead; hearing that your dog is dead while you're on your period; hearing that your dog isn't quite dead and could somebody please back the car up etc.
Yes, mashy fish, a box-set of mediocre British "dromedy" and I'm adamant there'll be no more pen-dropping in the boardroom today.

"British dromedy"?
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise we had camels here, do they live in the New Forest or something?
"Mashed up fish and Potato" emmm!
ReplyDeleteNot quiet as appealing as you seem to think..
Don't you girl's always turn to Triple Choclate Icecream at times like this, and a glass of wine?
Annie, think it has to be a case of tasting is believing 'cos otherwise I ain't feeling the fish thing!!
ReplyDeleteThat said there's nothing like a bit of Cold Feet to cheer you up!
LC, you're thinking of "dromedary". I'm talking about the genre that fuses drama and comedy into one scintillating television series.
ReplyDeleteAs for the plokkfiskur, it's THE most comforting food in the world. It's just like baby food; only there's more of it.
Sounds like several admiral's pies having had the blender treatment - I'm sold.
